Possession

Elvenking's song 'Possession' delves into the profound connection between two individuals, exploring themes of love, dreams, and emotional dependency. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one person holds the other's heart and dreams in their hands, symbolizing a deep emotional bond. This connection is so intense that it transcends mere physical presence, suggesting a spiritual or metaphysical link that binds them together through all circumstances.

The recurring line 'You carry my heart, you carry my dreams' emphasizes the idea that the beloved is not just a part of the singer's life but an integral part of their very being. The imagery of carrying someone's heart and dreams in one's palm suggests a delicate yet powerful responsibility, highlighting the vulnerability and trust inherent in such a relationship. The song also touches on the idea of mutual dependence, where the existence of one is incomplete without the other, as seen in the lines 'Where the poet lives, no poetry can exist if there is no dream.'

The song's melancholic tone is underscored by references to darkening skies and the silence that the characters cannot stand. This suggests a struggle or a sense of impending loss, yet there is also a sense of resilience and determination to 'carry on.' The metaphor of fire, which can both consume and illuminate, adds another layer of complexity, symbolizing the intense passion and potential destructiveness of their bond. The final plea to 'deeply live this dream while the others all around still sleep' encapsulates the desire to fully experience this unique connection, even if it means defying conventional norms or expectations.
